Overview

The Samoyed proves to be a friendly and gentle breed, warming up to almost anyone. Very easy going, sweet, and beautiful, this breed takes kindly to almost all people. This breed does not do well as a guard or watch dog, however is highly intelligent.

Character

This is a very peaceful breed that tends to be very active. Very loyal, the Samoyed usually favors his master but will be friendly to most people. A very sociable breed, he is not only beautiful but makes a wonderful companion.

Temperament

This dog has the tendency to bark quite a bit, and will alert you when someone is approaching. Does not do well with smaller and more passive animals, but can do well with cats and other dogs. The Samoyed is very friendly and does well with children.

Care

The Samoyed has a very thick coat, which requires much grooming. They shed heavily during warmer seasons and should be regularly brushed. The coat of this dog tends to trap dirt, but with regular brushing it should release easily.

Coat

The Samoyed has a long and thick double coat and requires a lot of grooming. The outercoat should be harsher than the undercoat, but still fairly soft. Undercoat should be short, thick, and should have wool like texture.

Training

This breed can be very willful and stubborn when it comes to obedience training but will do well with firm, consistent, and patient training techniques. Variety is best as Samoyeds can have a low attention span.

Activity

The Samoyed does best in cooler climates, but will do okay in warmer weather. Proper exercise is required as this breed can be lively, but proper water and rests must be given as this breed has a wooly coat.

Ownership

Help reduce the number of Samoyed puppies in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.

Are Samoyeds good for seniors

Yes. Samoyeds are calm and gentle, and don't jump up on you, unless you ask them to. My Samoyed would pull my wheelchair when I was crippled, and loved to go to retirement homes and hospitals. They'll love you grandchildren too, as well as the rest of the family; but if you are his owner/caretaker, he will probably mind only you My relatives hated that they couldn't boss him around, but it made me love him all the more.We were together 24/7 for the 12 years that he lived, and when he passed away--it broke my heart worse than anything else ever did.12/18/2013 10:56:45 PM

What is the average weight for a 12 weeks old female samoyed ? I have a hybrid puppy looks like Samoyed and I would like to get an estimate on her future weight. So I would like to know the normal weight for a Samoyed at that age.
Thanks.

The only way to know if your dog is a pure-bred or what breeds make up your dog is to have your dog DNA tested. You can buy them online or at your vet for an average cost of $45.00 - $85.00.

NEVER EVER shave a Samoyed, under any circumstances. Samoyeds do no have natural oils on their skin, and the double coat insulates them from heat and cold. Shaving a Samoyed is like declawing a cat then sending the cat to fend for itself in the wild. JUST DON'T do it.3/23/2014 10:06:37 AM

Shaving a Samoyed causes the undercoat to grow thicker making it harder to brush their coat. A regular human hair brush works great for maintaining their coat.3/21/2015 4:42:17 PM

ARE SAMOYED DOGS HYPOALLERGENIC if not what breed looks similar

1 Comment

There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Poodles and Poodles Mix are considered hypoallergenic because they produce less dander. Samoyed are shedding dogs but they have very a little dander and little to no odor. I have a 6 years old poodle and a one year old Samoyed. I am also allergic to cats, rabbits and dogs. I can still break into hives if my dog licked my face or hands however with their fur but my poodle and Samoyed doesn't active my allergies like a Lab or Retriever does. Your best bet would to go to a breeder and handle the dogs to see or contact someone in your local area and ask to pet their dog.3/27/2013 4:02:45 AM

I'm sure he knows he's supposed to go outside to pee, but lately is peeing in the house, right in front of me. Even if he has been out for 30 minutes, lately has been waiting to come in to pee. We have a 15 week old Golden Retriever(that we got 2 weeks after Samoyed). He is submissive and shy but has been doing a great job on almost always going out to pee. Any suggestions?

Try using a treat when the puppy goes outside. Samoyed's are very food motivated, a piece of cheese or a little chicken works well, they do need to go out right after they eat and first thing in the morning.11/21/2012 7:18:27 PM

He was up to date on all of his visits to the vet and got a clean bill of health at every one. We have two dogs and the female has been in heat for about 1 1/2 weeks. The male was fine yesterday when I walked him and eagerly got home to try to see her, but we kept them apart. Later in the day he tormented her relentlessly. At 5:30 last night he started to act like he needed to vomit, but had not ate much for three days so just had some yellow vomit. At night he seemed depressed and we felt that it was because he wanted the female. Between 12-4 this morning he died. Do you have no idea what may have happened. He wasn't acting like he was in pain, just like he may have the flu or be depressed, which in hindsight is not his nature. Can you shed some light on this. We worry for the second dog.

We had a male samoyed who was in very good shape for 12 years. We expected him to live and be active much longer. He also did not eat for 2-3 days and one night became confused and alone. When he became wobbly, we rushed him to an emergency vet clinic where he was diagnosed with a turned stomach. We were told that it is something that happens with large dogs. The doctor did not hold out hope for a successful recovery. We had to put him to sleep. It was awful and we still miss him. 11/1/2012 10:41:34 PM

It sounds like what my female Sammy had while I was away on a cruise. She was being boarded at a vet and was dry heaving - trying to vomit but nothing was coming up. Fortunately they recognized it as bloat, operated on her immediately and saved her life. I had a $2000 bill, but she recovered. Bloat is serious and can result in fatality rather quickly...I was glad I had boarded her at a vet instead of having a friend take care of her...they may not have identified it in time and might have felt enormously guilty if she had died in their care.3/17/2015 9:06:53 PM

Well the first thing I would ask is where did you purchase your samoyed. Some breeders dont breed "correct" Samoyeds and they do not have correct coat. They look like white german shepherds or white siberian huskies.
However, Samoyeds should have a full puppy coat and then start growing in their adult coat about eight to ten months. Since he is 5 months he may be right in the middle of the transition. What ever he look like as a puppy at 7 or 8 weeks is what he should look like as an adult. 8/31/2012 1:41:06 PM

I presently have an Eskie and she is nearly 14 years old. She has been a great dog, although a little rough-watch your Eskie around children as they can easily knock them over.
My Eskie barks quite a bit when people come over and does not do well when people ignore her.
A word of warning, my Eskie has developed diabetes and requires two injections, exactly 12 hours apart each day. I have been told they are especially prone to this disease. She has had it for over a year and has done very well.
Good luck, I think they are the most beautiful dogs. Try to find a mixture of Eskie and Collie. They best of both worlds, and beautiful. Good luck7/14/2012 5:19:23 PM

I have both.... the Samoyed will be the best choice for a child. My Samoyed does not bark, well, rarely but my American Eskimo seems to be a bit yappy... Shedding, don't get either... Everything you own will forever be white and fuzzy. The Eskimo is the best for an apartment, I have lived in an apartment the past 4 years with both of my dogs. I put a doggie door in the sliding glass door, it allows them to go outside freely... you'd be surprised how often the do go out there. Before I moved here, I lived in a house, had the doggie door and a deck, big back yard and guess where my lovely ladies wanted to be? inside. If you're in a home or an apartment, you have to walk them and not a 5 minute trip around the block, the Samoyed needs 45 minutes.8/7/2012 12:33:38 AM

Samoyeds are great family dogs with kids. But they were breed to pull sleds and herd... SO I would advise getting a very mellow samoyed who is not a alpha or hyper dog. They exist; just have to find a good breeder who knows temperment and their bloodlines well.
American Eskimos are less coat but are more "spitzy" in temperment. Just do research on the breed and the breeders you contact for both breeds. 8/31/2012 1:52:00 PM

Shedding has nothing to do with allergies. MOST people are not affected by Samoyed hair, because it doesn't have the dander that most people are allergic to.

Long hair is not indicative of allergies. Dander is made up of 2 proteins that make people sneeze. It is thought in cold weather breeds like the Siberian Cat (Looks like Persian/Mancoon) do not produce this protein. It is thought is that what ever the protein is actually meant for is not needed in cold enviroments so after time this protien is no longer produced. 7/14/2013 11:31:05 AM

Samoyeds are very smart and can be quite stubborn you need to be very firm with them. Brushing once a week is more than enough. You need to make sure when they do something wrong you tell them off put them out side and do this every time. Same for when they go toilet inside. The puppy training pads are great got dogs keep taking them to it and slowly more it closer to the door and before you now it they will be going out side. Samoyed dogs get bored easy make sure they get plenty of exercise and have lots of rubber toys and bones to crew on.2/7/2012 3:29:14 AM

It took us about a month. Each week we would make our Samoyed hold it a little longer, but by the end of the month he was using house broken.
